I am using a trans.exe file, which when run asks for a parameter (=input) file. If I run trans.exe using Matlab, then how can I directly give the parameter file inside the program without being prompted by Matlab to type it manually each time trans.exe is run?

If your executable doesn't have the ability to accept command-line parameters, then your only option is to invoke a call which pipes stuff to the stdin of your executable (under Linux, this would be something like !echo "blah blah blah" | my_executable). I don't know if this technique works from Matlab, though.

system('"C:\path_name\trans.exe" < "C:\path_name\input_trans_parameter_file.txt"');

The following command line used in above system function directly uses the name of the input file stored in input_trans_parameter_file.txt.

< "C:\path_name\input_trans_parameter_file.txt"
